Carrara Self Storage

If you're seeking high-quality storage in Carrara, then you've come to the right place. At Spacer, we specialise in matching people wanting to rent a storage unit with those that have additional and free space. In the Gold Coast, extra space is at a premium, and most of our storage hosts are people who either own or rent a home with additional space. However, we also include some businesses that have excess space. Many of these spaces go unused, but through Spacer, these people can offer them up to others for a monthly fee. This type of arrangement is ideal if you're looking to avoid the high costs associated with purpose-built storage facilities.

Having a storage unit available can be perfect for clearing out some of your household clutter. You can find units of all sizes, from large enough to park a caravan to small ones to hold a few boxes. The storage unit that is perfect for you will rely on what you're planning on using it for. An excellent use for small storage space is for hosting copies of things that would be devastating if lost in a fire. This can include photos albums, data backup drives, and personal documents. Many of these items are hard to replace once destroyed but generally easy to copy. Having a copy at your home and one in a storage unit is ideal for their continued protection.

What size storage unit do I need?

Choosing the right storage in Carrara means knowing how much stuff you need to place in there. If you store one or two items, such as a vehicle, you can easily measure them. But if you have a few items, a little more work is needed. The best way to find the right storage space is to pack everything up and stack it in your garage or living room. Then you can quickly measure the size of all your stuff at once. If you'd prefer not to do that, then you can use the best guess method. For example, if you pack up the contents of a three-bedroom home, you'll find that a single space garage is often enough.

Next, you can look for storage in Carrara that can fit a vehicle or something similar in size; most garages are approximately 3m x 5m x 3m. If you are clearing out some clutter from your home, then you can find a storage unit of about half this size, and it'll be more than enough. To make sure you have enough room, you can find a slightly larger space than these measurements just to make sure.

When you search for storage in your suburb, we'll show you everything within a 10km radius. At Spacer, we've found that most people want a storage unit close by. But if you're struggling to find that perfect unit, then you can search other suburbs to see what else is out there. For residents of the Gold Coast, you can try Southport, Helensvale, Palm Beach, or even Tweed Heads. If you don't mind going for a drive or working nearby, you can even look around Brisbane.

How does the payment process work?

When you use Spacer to find storage in Carrara or anywhere on the Gold Coast (including Robina), we'll take care of all the financial transactions. One of the main benefits of using Spacer is all the payments are processed through our team. Other than coordinating with your host, we'll ensure the payments are delivered on time each month. Using our services means that your storage unit will be covered by our insurance, and that's ideal when you're renting a privately held storage space. With our insurance, you're covered for up to $10,000.

If you visit your storage space and notice something is not as it should be, you should immediately contact your host. By contacting your host, they can provide you with any security recording, such as CCTV, pin pad or swipe card access logs. Any evidence you can find that uncovers the person at fault will help with your claim. If there is no one at fault, then you can make a claim on this insurance to help cover the replacement costs of your items.

What items can I store in the storage unit?

If hosts of storage in Carrarathey have some particular parameters about what you're allowed to keep in their units, it will be noted on the listing page. For example, if you are storing a vehicle, they may want to know how large it is, as some units are only suitable for smaller cars and motorbikes. Also, while the hosts may not check what you're leaving in the unit, some items are not really suited to a storage unit. These items can include anything illegal, firearms, containers of liquids, explosives, and any other hazardous items. If you need to store any of these items, there are specialised storage spaces you find that are more suitable.

Generally, storage in Carrara is used for regular household items. You'll find that most storage spaces can house an amazing amount of furniture and other boxes. Provided you take the time to stack everything inside properly, you'll find there is plenty of room. For the best results with your storage space, you should keep an itemised list of what is inside every box and its location inside the unit. Keeping an itemised list of everything in the unit will allow you to quickly go in and out without having to take all your items out searching for that one thing you need!
